There are three major items that are left on the “wing/fuselage assembly” section once the wings are on.
- Fabricate and install Tank Attach Brackets
- Set Ailerons and verify range envelope
- Install Flaps and fabricate/connect Flap Rod to flap motor
I was able to complete the aileron setting, and start the flaps work, but I ended up having a couple of brain farts on the tank attach brackets, and will need to reorder the stock material to try again. On the flap rods, I struggled to drill out the aluminum tubing as per plans. (this is a common issue on the forums). I fabricated one rod for test fitting, but I actually ended up ordering pre-fabricated rods as I wasn’t happy with my results. Below are some photos and commentary on the work done in the last few days of February.
Still lots to go, but unfortunately The last couple days I came down with a nasty case of the flu. Hopefully I can get back to it early in March. Until then…. Happy Building!
